Long-Distance Corridor Relief Act

This bill modifies a federal rail funding rule to specifically exempt long-distance passenger rail corridors from requiring consideration of non-Federal funding commitments. It directly affects long-distance intercity rail routes by removing a requirement that previously forced the Secretary to factor in promised non-Federal funds when selecting corridors. The key provision adds an exception stating the Secretary "shall not consider committed or anticipated non-Federal funding" for these corridors during selection. This change simplifies the corridor selection process for long-distance routes by eliminating a specific funding-related hurdle. The bill does not alter funding levels or create new programs, only changing the criteria used in the selection process.
